      1) "Man cheers during movie" is only a news story because reporters were told to write stories reinforcing the bizarre, preordained narrative that the movie is somehow dangerous 2) These paranoid, emotionally-disturbed reactions suggest the movie was on to something thematically

      The theater I saw "Joker" in had large signs prohibiting the wearing of "costumes" for safety reasons. It's clearly lame to wear a Joker costume to the movie theater, but the idea that you should feel your physical safety is threatened by this = more manufactured paranoia

          While this "hysteria" (for lack of a better word) is overblown, if I were to play Devil's advocate here, I would point to the Dark Knight movie shooting from 2012, as a valid reason for not wanting costumes in the theater. Though, by any metric, that situation is an outlier.

          They've done this for ALL movies, since that shooting in Aurora - the one at the theater. All my marvel movie friends/coworkers were no longer able to go in costume covering their face. Not even the marvel masks. This has been the norm. No reason to start feigning outrage now.

          It's a widespread belief (even though it turned out not to be true) that James Holmes was dressed as the Joker when he committed a mass shooting in a theater showing a Batman movie. I think the caution is warranted. The theater in Aurora, CO is not even showing the movie.
